Schickard is a lunar impact crater of the form called a walled plain. It lies in the southwest sector of the Moon near the lunar limb. As a result the crater appears oblong due to foreshortening. Attached to the northern rim is the lesser crater Lehmann and to the northeast is the even smaller Drebbel. Southeast of Schickard is Wargentin a lava-flooded plateau.Schickard has a worn rim that is overlain in several locations by smaller impact craters.
